Introducing the HMI Centric Architecture for OEMs looking to launch a remote maintenance service for your end-users, we have the right HMI Centric Architecture for you.

 Introducing the HMI Centric Architecture, for those who are in charge of maintenance and managing several types of equipment and facilities. Instead of installing multiple HMIs, Architecture uses BOX HMIs and tablets to save space and reduce costs for efficient maintenance improvements on site.

In this case study, by adopting SP5000X, Kawasaki Kiko Co., Ltd., a comprehensive manufacturer of tea production and harvesting machines with the top market share in this field successfully implemented a next-generation project. The project has completed in a single year instead of the expected two to three years. The company continues to make the utmost efforts to provide more delicious tea to people around the world.

Pro-face can integrate with a wide range of devices and systems in OT and IT. It also offers a secure remote solution with open collaboration through HMI systems. Please check a story with our HMI Centric solution.

Today’s industrial market is filled with services and products developed to realize “Industry 4.0” and "Smart Factories” at modern manufacturing sites. However, we recently hear comments like these. “We couldn’t gain any substantial effects despite major investments.”　And, “Yes, we can now collect various device data. But, it takes too much manpower to integrate and use it.” And so on. In response to such comments, we revised our HMIs from operation terminals to devices that can integrate device data and operation log data for use.

GP4100 series is a high-performance model that supports data collection and mobile remote monitoring despite its small size. Three installation case examples of compact HMI are introduced this time.

Haven’t you often heard of “AI=Artificial Intelligence” lately? AI is no longer a term in SF movies only and is coming closer to our real world. AI played chess or go with a human and beat him. AI is applied in the self-driving technology of automobiles. Probably, you have already heard such news.  Why did Pro-face that is an HMI manufacturer pick up this term as a keyword for the Industry tech trend? It’s because we think this AI technology will become important even in an FA industry we engage in.

That&rsquo;s why more customers may not be able to take the first step to adopt IoT.<br /> <br /> A purpose of adopting IoT is to make a profit in a plant.<br /> But they don&rsquo;t want spend a large amount of money on it because its effect is not clear. In addition, they don&rsquo;t want the equipment to be stopped or defects to be produced.<br /> <span style="color:#0000CD;">The point is how it is introduced with a lower cost or in an easier way.</span></span></span>
